Markdown to HTML Converter
"tldr": Paste Markdown and get clean HTML - headings, lists, links, code blocks, and GFM tables converted instantly.
Convert Markdown into clean, semantic HTML: headings to <h1>-<h6>, lists to <ul>/<ol>, fenced code to <pre><code>, plus GitHub-flavored extensions - tables, strikethrough, and task lists.
The output is unstyled by design: semantic tags that inherit whatever CSS the destination has, which is what you want when pasting into a CMS, an email template, docs, or a component. For editing with live preview, use our full Markdown Editor - this page is the quick one-shot conversion.
How to convert Markdown to HTML
- 1Paste your Markdown - CommonMark plus GFM tables, strikethrough, and task lists are supported.
- 2The HTML output updates instantly.
- 3Copy the semantic HTML into your page, CMS, or template.
- 4Style it with your own CSS - the output deliberately carries no inline styles.
Convert Markdown to HTML in code
import { marked } from "marked"; // npm install marked
const html = marked.parse(markdown, { async: false });import markdown # pip install markdown
html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=["tables", "fenced_code"])Frequently asked questions
Is the generated HTML safe to inject into my page?
Markdown can contain raw HTML, including scripts - so if the source is untrusted (user comments), sanitize the output with DOMPurify or equivalent before inserting it into the DOM. For your own content, it is fine as-is.
Why does my converted HTML look unstyled?
Because clean output has no inline CSS - it inherits the destination styles. If you need a styled standalone document, wrap it in a template with a stylesheet (GitHub-markdown-css is a popular drop-in) or use our Markdown Editor's styled export.
Which Markdown flavor is this?
CommonMark with the GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extensions - the de facto standard. Dialect-specific extras from other ecosystems (Obsidian wikilinks, Pandoc citations) pass through as plain text.
